Sculpt Your Cheeks with Buccal Fat Removal
Buccal fat removal is a cosmetic procedure that slims the cheeks by removing excess fat from the buccal fat pads, creating a more sculpted, angular, and youthful appearance. Ideal for those with fuller cheeks, this procedure enhances facial definition, reduces cheek fullness, and offers a permanent solution for a more balanced, contoured look.
Types of Treatment
Leading Up to Your Procedure
Proper preparation is essential to ensure a successful outcome and smooth recovery. Here’s how to prepare for your buccal fat removal surgery:
Quit Smoking
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
Discontinue Contraceptive Pills
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Limit Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Stop Blood Thinners, Supplements, and Herbal Teas
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payment Details
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
Visa Arrangements
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
Dietary Recommendations
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
Prepare for Post-Surgery Recovery
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Quit Smoking
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Discontinue Medications
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Limit Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payment Details
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.

Consultation with Your Surgeon
You’ll meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals and confirm the details of the procedure. The surgeon will mark areas of your cheeks to guide the surgery.
Markings and Preparation
Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
The Surgery
Small incisions are made inside the mouth, typically on the inside of the cheek, to remove the buccal fat pads. The procedure typically lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity.
Arrival at the Hospital
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.

Pre-Surgical Sedation and Anesthesia
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.

Post-Operative Care and Hospital Stay
Buccal fat removal is typically an outpatient procedure, so you can return to your hotel or home the same day. You may need to stay overnight for observation if necessary.
Follow-Up Appointments
After your surgery, you will have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress. The surgeon will check for swelling, bruising, and ensure the fat removal was done as planned.
Swelling and Bruising
You may experience some swelling and bruising in the cheeks, which will subside over time. Ice packs and prescribed medication can help manage discomfort.
Dietary Restrictions
It is advisable to follow a soft-food diet for the first few days post-surgery to avoid putting pressure on your cheeks.
Activity Restrictions
Most patients can resume light activities after 1-2 weeks. Avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks to allow your cheeks to heal properly.
Scarring
Since the incisions are made inside the mouth, there are no visible scars. The incisions will heal quickly, but it’s important to follow aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of infection.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.
